Bangkok
Several upscale art and antique shops occupy the 3rd and 4th floors of this riverside mall. The vast majority of pieces appear to come from Myanmar and – to a lesser extent – Cambodia and Nepal. The 2nd floor has a mix of exhibition spaces where well-curated art, sculpture and multimedia exhibitions are organised from time to time.
The mall's pier is also the start/end point for the majority of evening dinner cruise operations on the Chao Phraya.
